Details of the update originated on NeoGAF but have been idependently verified by The Verge, including word of an October release for Microsoft's White-coloured Xbox One model.

The chic white colour has so far only been available to members of Microsoft's internal Xbox development team - hundreds were made and given away to developers at the console's launch. At least one of the machines were auctioned off for charity - and notched up £5000.

The same source also indicated that Microsoft would launch a 1TB Xbox One model in November and was continuing to look into a version of the console without a Blu-Ray drive (perhaps the two models are one and the same?). The company investigated releasing a disc-less version at the console's launch, although plans were put on hold.
